Chapter 246: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 90
With a red and swollen face, Concubine De knelt at the gate of Yunhe Palace for a whole night.
The next day, the concubines in the harem came to Yunhe Palace to pay their respects to the Queen. When they saw Concubine De, they did not restrain their expressions and passed by her laughingly.
"Wouldn't it be bad if we ignored her? After all, she is a concubine, much higher than us."
"You are stupid! The Queen has punished her, and His Majesty also dislikes her. She is just a concubine in vain, what is there to be afraid of?"
"She is still being punished. If you greet her now, wouldn't that be going against the Empress? The Empress is so kind, are you going to side with Concubine De?"
"I didn't! I hope she won't care about us anymore. Xinde Palace is so lifeless. I'm scared every time I go there to pay my respects. The Queen's Yunhe Palace is better. There are delicious foods every time I come."
Tao Hong came out and said with a smile, "Greetings to the ladies. Come in quickly. The Queen has already woken up and is waiting for you."
After the concubines went in, Tao Hong looked at Concubine De coldly and said disdainfully, "Don't kneel here. The Queen is kind and has allowed you to live in Xinde Palace. From now on, you should stay at home and reflect on your mistakes. You don't need to come to pay respects again."
With a bang, the door of Yunhe Palace slammed shut. The two eunuchs guarding the door began to sweep the floor with brooms, and all the dust fell on Concubine De's face.
Concubine De was on the verge of collapse, and she only managed to hold on by holding on. She forced herself to stand up and walked towards Xinde Palace step by step.
Originally, her Xinde Palace was closest to the emperor's bedroom, but now this palace road seemed longer than ever before.
People were coming and going on the palace road. The palace maids and eunuchs passing by no longer saluted her, and even stayed away from her, avoiding her like the plague. She heard many mocking and abusive voices.
Ji Yunhuan did it on purpose! He deliberately let her leave Yunhe Palace when there were the most people around, and deliberately let her be bullied and laughed at.
She lost, lost miserably!
Her stomach was bloated and aching, and she felt something warm flowing out, staining her dress red.
"Ah~" Concubine De let out a scream of pain, and everything in front of her eyes began to spin. She staggered two steps, her eyes went dark, and she finally fell down!
When she opened her eyes again, Concubine De was lying in Xinde Palace. It was already dark and she had been slept for the whole day.
There were not many servants in Xinde Palace, and it was not even as busy as Lanxiang Palace. Since she entered the palace, she had been diligent, frugal, careful and cautious, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
The queen was so unbridled and outspoken, and her words and actions were reckless, but everyone liked the queen, including His Majesty. She just wanted His Majesty's favor once, but the queen obstructed her in every way and even killed her child.
There was a sudden cramp in her abdomen, and more and more blood gushed out. Concubine De held her stomach and curled up into a ball, tears flowing uncontrollably.
"My child is gone, and I will never have another child in my life!"
"Haochang, I'm sorry, I can't avenge you. Your Majesty has been kind to me, I can't harm Your Majesty, I just want to protect our child, but I... I'm so useless! I can't beat Ji Yunhuan, our child is gone..."
Concubine De bit the corner of the quilt and didn't even dare to cry out loud. She had never been favored by the emperor, and she couldn't even tell others about the child.
She will always remember the day when Long Haochang entered the palace.
His Majesty had no son, so he chose Long Haochang as the crown prince. She was the concubine with the highest rank, and Long Haochang was nominally adopted by her and became her son.
She had a miserable childhood and depended on her aunt at home. It was not easy to make a living in the large mansion. She was almost forced to hang herself. Fortunately, His Majesty said a word and brought her into the palace.
But his majesty doesn't love her, and she is lonely in the palace, so she can only endure it day by day.
Until Long Haochang came, Haochang would come to pay his respects to her, the "mother concubine", every time he entered the palace. She knew that she should not be moved, but Long Haochang gave her the only warmth, and she was irresistibly trapped in him.
In early March, the emperor disappeared and Haochang became regent. She was happy in her heart. She knew that she was being unfair to the emperor, but she still couldn't help herself.
She and Haochang are secretly in love!
They lingered together avoiding everyone, so warm and passionate, and she finally completely turned into a woman, a woman nourished by love!
Later the emperor returned to the palace. Everything happened so fast!
Long Haochang forged the emperor's corpse and was arrested for treason, but she could do nothing.
She was horrified to find that her period had not come. She had made love with Hao Chang many times, and she didn't know which time she became pregnant. She knew that she had to gain the emperor's favor to keep the child.
That was the only bloodline of Haochang left in the world.
So she went to the gate of Yonghe Palace and knelt down to beg, and finally met the emperor, but the emperor did not touch her.
After the queen entered the palace, she had even less chance. She gambled everything on gaining the emperor's favor, just for the baby in her belly.
Now that her child is gone and everything is gone, what hope does she have in this life?
Concubine De climbed up from the bed with difficulty, leaving a pool of blood on the bedding. She hugged the bedding and cried uncontrollably.
"Blood! So much blood! Ji Yunhuan! I hate you! I will make you pay with blood!"
There were only two palace maids left serving in Xinde Palace, which was like a cold palace. The entire palace was empty, and the cries of Concubine De could still be heard.
Jinhua covered her ears in annoyance and complained, "Cry, cry, cry, what's there to cry about? The Queen is so generous and even invited the imperial physician to see her. It's just her period, what woman hasn't had it? As for crying like this in the middle of the night, can't you let me sleep?"
"We are so unlucky. So many palace maids have been assigned to other places, leaving only the two of us to serve her. We don't know when it will end."
Jindie was older, so she patted Jinhua on the head and whispered, "You should be more polite. Concubine De doesn't treat us harshly, so it's easy to serve her. The Queen only punished Concubine De, not us. We should keep an eye on Concubine De and don't let her cause trouble for the Queen."
After the two palace maids fell asleep, a dark shadow pried open the dog hole in the wall and crawled into Xinde Palace.
The shadow easily found its way into Concubine De's bedroom. Concubine De was not asleep at all. When she heard someone coming, she immediately took out a dagger from under her pillow and said vigilantly:
"Who are you and where are you? Were you sent by the Queen to kill me? I will fight you to the death!"
The shadow walked to the bed. With the moonlight outside the window, Concubine De saw who was coming. She still didn't put down the dagger in her hand and said angrily, "What are you doing here? Are you here to see me make fun of myself?"
Nanny Jiang cautiously took a step back, lest the crazy Defei really take action.
"I am here to help you, Your Majesty. Things are different now than they were in the past. The Queen is very powerful. Not only does she control your Majesty's harem and oppress the concubines, she also alienates the relationship between your Majesty and the Queen Mother. It is really abominable!"
"Your Highness and the Queen Mother did have some misunderstandings in the past, but there was no deadly hatred. The Queen Mother could not bear to see Your Highness suffer, and wanted to help Your Highness regain her favor. As long as the Queen is dealt with, Your Highness will be the master of the harem, and you will be as glorious as before."
